Reflect on our sources of faith in order to find a true place for the economy in creation, to hear the mission to which the churches are called, and to engage with others who find themselves similarly challenged by their own faith or tradition.

Form a vision for a genuinely sustainable economy which promotes ecological, social, psychological and moral flourishing.

Stoke debate for change in churches, and with citizens, government and business, on specific policy measures to make it a reality.

New Resource:Engaging the Powers was compiled by Hamish Preston a retired school inspector and member of a church in Reading. It is a very useful and novel type of ‘electronic library’ of literature relevant to nearly all areas of the work of Green Christian and the Joy in Enough programme.
Hamish’s aim is to answer the question: ‘What is the main thrust of the author’s argument?’ Hamish says ‘I seek to convey this using the author’s own words and backing it up with some, but not all, of the data the author uses to substantiate his/her case. I am usually able to reduce a text to about one-fifth of its original length.’ (added Oct 2016)

Working groups

Five Working Groups (WGs) discussed the different requirements for the transition to an economy that promotes well-being sustainably. More information on the five themes can be found on the Working Groups page. These working groups fed ideas into the issues which we developed and raised through our conferences in March 2014 and November 2015
